Funded Activity Summary

The Emerging Drugs Network of Australia brings together emergency physicians, toxicologists and forensic laboratories across the country to build a national surveillance and early warning system of illicit and emerging drugs. Our innovative approach will use laboratory confirmed data to identify the specific drugs resulting in emergency department presentations, and use this information to inform rapid, evidence-based public health responses to reduce further drug-related harm in the community.
